McClinton, a 6-foot-6, 180-pound small forward at Winston-Salem Prep did not only provide highlight-reel dunks, but showcased his ability as a scorer and defender. In three games he averaged 11.3 points.

Mitchell, a 6-foot-3, 170-pound point guard at Waxhaw (NC) Cuthbertson had an obvious edge when he matched up with High Point (NC) Wesleyan's JaQuel Richmond. He often finished coast-to-coast drives with layups, and got into the lane at will.

Outlaw, a 6-foot-6, 190-pound small forward at Roxboro (NC) Person was one of the most aggressive defenders and a strong rebounder. He scored 14 points in his first game.
